UPDATE: Water-rescue response in West Seattle

4:49 PM: Emergency responders are in the 10200 block of 47th SW and at Don Armeni after a report of someone in trouble in the water south of Fauntleroy. More to come.

4:53 PM UPDATE: The person is described as a “boarder” and has been picked up by a rescue boat, per scanner and what we can see from the road over the 47th SW location (the West Beach Condos).

4:57 PM UPDATE: The rescued person is now described by SFD as an “exhausted, non-injured windsurfer.”

5:30 PM UPDATE: The windsurfer was getting a ride home from police to a nearby address – did not need treatment – and responding units were being dismissed

Multiple aid cars with sirens heading south on Fauntleroy past Lincoln Park in last few minutes

That was for this call. We actually first found out about it after seeing SPD heading south on Fauntleroy from Morgan Junction, checked the 911 screen, fired up the scanner on the phone, etc. Another one of those cases where the addresses on Real-Time 911 are different from how things turn out – there was one dispatch to the 10000 block of 51st SW, another to 1600 Harbor since that’s where they often take rescued people for transfer to medics on shore, but in this case, the person was brought ashore at the West Beach Condos, 10200 block of 47th SW.

  The Fire Boat 2 picked up some rescue swimmers and divers at Don Armani before heading to the scene. The other fire boat went straight to the scene.

  WSB – what scanner app do you use on your phone?

    It’s on our hotline, which is a mobile phone that co-publisher P is using for a voice conversation right now so I can’t look BUT it’s a nationwide app and I believe that’s why it has 5-0 in its name.
